The wheel everyone's talking about. 🎡🇺🇸

One of the biggest attractions at the Great American State Fair is making history as the first-ever Ferris wheel on the National Mall.

Standing 110 feet tall, Talley Amusements' signature ride gives fairgoers panoramic views of the U.S. Capitol, the Washington Monument, and the sprawling National Mall from above for free.

My daughter told me a story years ago about her AP Art teacher that stuck with me far longer than any actual art lesson ever did.

There was a girl in her class who loved everything loud, glitter, rhinestones, neon paint, peacock feathers, all of it. While everyone else was doing tasteful, serious, gallery looking work, she brought in a canvas that looked like a chandelier had exploded on it.

The room got awkward fast.

You could tell she already knew the teacher probably hated it. He was one of those stern, old school art guys who liked restraint and thought “less is more” was basically scripture.

So she starts explaining herself before he even critiques it. Trying to soften it, Trying to make it sound more acceptable. More refined. More “art.”

He let her finish, looked at the piece, and said:

“You’re making a terrible mistake.”

Whole class went silent.

Then he said, “Not because this is too much. Because it’s not enough.”

She looked stunned.

He pointed at the canvas and said, “This has the fingerprints of somebody who loves bold, flashy, ridiculous things… and then got scared halfway through. You pulled back. You edited yourself for people who were never going to like your taste in the first place.”

Then he hit her with the line my daughter still remembers:

“If I’m going to dislike your work, don’t give me something I can politely dismiss. Give me something so fully committed I have to respect it.”

That girl came back at the end of the semester with a portfolio that looked like Vegas and a peacock got into a fistfight. It was outrageous. Glitter, texture, color, chaos.

The teacher hated every piece.

He gave her the highest mark in the class.

That’s a lesson a lot of people need outside of art too: if you keep sanding yourself down for people who were never your audience, all you end up with is a weaker version of what made you interesting in the first place.

I bring home a trapped coyote and let it loose in the kitchen.

Hackles up. Teeth bared. Pissing on the floor.

My wife says, "Get it out."

I tell her that is a very unwelcoming and unchristian way to speak about a future house pet.

The children back into the hallway.

I tell them it's a rescue.
I tell them fences are fear.
I tell them cages are barbaric.
I tell them the old rules were cruel.
I tell them it will domesticate in time.

Then I grab my lunchbox and leave them to live with my principles.

When I get home, there is blood on the floor, and the experts who sold me on compassion are already explaining why nobody could have seen this coming.

Anyway, that's Western migration policy.

In the midst of unimaginable loss, the Metcalf family chose to honor Austin's memory by investing in the future of others.

The first Austin Metcalf Memorial Scholarship has been awarded to Kevon Jackson, helping a student pursue his college dreams in Austin's name.

That's what the family's crowdfunding efforts have gone toward—not bitterness, but hope. Not revenge, but opportunity.

I hope people continue to support this scholarship year after year so more young people can receive the same blessing. Every student helped will be another reminder that Austin's legacy continues to make a difference.

What a beautiful way to ensure his name lives on. ❤️

(Karmelo Anthony supporters are livid because this goes against their " Metcalf's are racist" narrative. )

A Las Vegas nurse practitioner bought a $594,000 Ferrari and a $4.6 million beach resort in the Philippines while allegedly running a $906 million fraud scheme that targeted elderly hospice patients for unneeded procedures.

Marizel Yukee has been indicted in the biggest health care fraud takedown in US history.

Feds seized 8 cars, $467K cash, and several Nevada properties — including a house on (no joke) Money Street in Pahrump.

They’re promising you free bus rides and frozen rent, but that’s just the bait. Behind closed doors, the DSA just launched a radical new platform that doesn't just want to reform the government—they want to completely demolish it. We are talking about abolishing the US Senate, replacing the President, and wiping out the Supreme Court. But the most terrifying part isn't what they're planning for the country... it’s who is secretly pulling the strings from the shadows.

Here it is:

RECONFIRMED:

CBS—60 Minutes facilitated the overthrow of the United States government on November 3, 2020, as did the 51 intelligence officials.

@C__Herridge’s explosive revelation: “CBS executives deliberately buried the Hunter Biden laptop story and ordered her [Catherine Herridge] to wait until after the 2022 midterms to help the Democratic Party.”

Now arrest Leslie Stahl. Arrest the bitch. Arrest them all for fraud, election interference, racketeering, campaign finance violations, and conspiracy to overthrow the United States government on November 3, 2020.

📝The corporate media was in on the overthrow—every single one of them, including fox.

🚨 BREAKING: SD GOP SERGEANT AT ARMS FIRED AFTER DENYING SCOTT PRESLER ENTRY!

Good riddance to the POS! 👋

Party Chairman issues public apology: “I want to personally apologize for how things were handled tonight at the SD GOP Convention… Matt Bruner has been relieved of his duties as one of our Sergeant at Arms.”

Peaceful FAFO strikes again.

Scott Presler is out there doing the hard work of turning red states redder. The GOP better get the message, no more gatekeeping real conservatives and grassroots warriors.

Time for unity and winning, not stupid power plays.

Respect to Presler for staying on mission. The base is watching.

[American Nightmare 🇺🇸 @thewakeninq]

Irish couple left speechless after a small-town Alabama restaurant owner quietly picked up their entire tab.

Meanwhile, the same people who spent years sneering that Alabama was nothing but “backward rednecks” just got a masterclass in Southern hospitality. No lectures. No virtue signaling. No social media performance. Just genuine kindness from people the elites love to mock.

Turns out character isn’t measured by ZIP code—it’s measured by actions. And once again, small-town America embarrassed the self-appointed “tolerant” crowd without saying a word.

Saw this on FB: 🔥 🔥

On day 1 of my high school history class, our teacher got up and said:

“You are 15 or 16 years old. 200 years ago, people your age were married, planted crops, had children and built a cabin before winter.

You can do your homework. The bar is set embarrassingly low. You are not dealing with regional famine or plague. You do not have to save your family from marauders or go into battle to destroy your enemies.

You just have to sit down and learn from someone who cares about you in a safe air-conditioned room.

You have no excuses.”

This is the kind of teachers we need.

Communists must first destroy everything so they can remake society from the ashes, in their vision. They cannot let you pick your leaders. They cannot let you have nice things, beautiful buildings, clean streets, prosperity. They ruin your life so you *beg* for govt to step in.
